Product Features
DYP-L06 ultrasonic sensor is a high-precision liquid level sensing solution integrating advanced functionality for industrial and IoT applications. It operates on a 3.3V–5V supply voltage with a sleep current of <15μA (UART controlled), featuring a 3cm standard blind zone and a 3–100cm detection range for liquid levels. The sensor offers versatile output interfaces—UART automatic, UART controlled, IIC, and RS485—with a default baud rate of 115200 supporting 4800–76800 baud rates, enabling flexible system integration. It delivers 1mm measurement resolution and ±(5+S*1%)mm accuracy (S=measured value), supporting horizontal inclination detection from 0–180° for adaptable installation. Designed for non-contact measurement, it ensures safety while real-time tracking the full range without restarting when containers switch from empty to full. With a working temperature range of -15°C to +60°C and storage at -25°C to +70°C, its dustproof/waterproof IP67 industrial design and electrostatic protection (IEC61000-4-2 compliant) via anti-static devices on I/O interfaces make it ideal for harsh environments.
The DYP-L06 ultrasonic sensor is a specialized device designed to excel in LPG-related monitoring, with a strong focus on LPG cylinder level detection. It provides precise, non-intrusive measurements to track the remaining gas in LPG cylinders, ensuring users can plan refills efficiently and avoid unexpected shortages.
As a key component in lpg gas detector systems, DYP-L06 enhances safety and accuracy by complementing gas leak detection with real-time level monitoring. Its reliability makes it an ideal choice for both industrial and domestic settings, including as a core part of lp gas detector for home setups—where it integrates seamlessly to provide homeowners with peace of mind, combining level tracking with safety alerts.
Functioning as a high-performance lpg gas detector sensor, DYP-L06 works in tandem with other components to form a comprehensive lpg gas detection system. It ensures that not only leaks are detected but also that cylinder levels are monitored continuously, preventing overuse or understocking in commercial kitchens, laboratories, or residential spaces.
Whether deployed for LPG cylinder level detection in bulk storage facilities, as part of a home-friendly lp gas detector for home, or as a critical lpg gas detector sensor in industrial lpg gas detection system setups, DYP-L06 stands out. Its ability to enhance both the efficiency and safety of LPG management solidifies its role as an essential component in any lpg gas detector configuration, making it a top choice for precise and reliable LPG monitoring.
The output format of this series of ranging modules is divided into 2 formats. If there are special requirements that need to modify the response time, angle, communication agreement etc., you need to communicate with our FAE engineers during purchasing.

Installation Suggestions
1.The temperature range that can guarantee the detection accuracy of liquefied petroleum gas is 0-35 degrees Celsius;
2.The detection blind area and the detection limit height is also different;
3.Containers made of the same material at normal temperature have different detection blind areas and detection limit heights due to different container thicknesses;
4.When the detected liquid level exceeds the effective detection value of the sensor,and the liquid level of the liquid to be measured shakes or tilts greatly,the height value of the detected liquid is unstable;
5.Please pay attention to the structural tolerance when designing.Unreasonable structural design may cause temporary abnormality of the sensor function;
6.Please pay attention to the evaluation of electromagnetic compatibility when designing. Unreasonable system design may cause abnormal sensor function;
7.When it comes to the boundary application of product limit parameters,you can contact the FAE of our company to confirm the relevant precautions.
